Zelensky demands new sanctions after devastating Russian strikes

• From Saturday night to Sunday, Russia launched attacks using nearly 300 drones and 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, targeting Kyiv and other regions.
• The attacks caused 12 deaths and 60 injuries, including children. Residential buildings and dormitories were destroyed.
• Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for new sanctions against Russia, stressing that international silence encourages further aggressive actions by Putin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that the Russian attacks resulted in 12 deaths and 60 injuries, including children. The attacks impacted multiple regions, including Kyiv, where dormitories of the university's history department were destroyed.

"Ordinary residential buildings were destroyed and damaged. In Kyiv, dormitories of the university's history department were hit. There were also strikes on enterprises. Tragically, people were killed, including children. My condolences," Zelensky wrote on social media.

Zelensky emphasizes that without strong pressure on Russian leaders, such cruelty cannot be stopped. "Without truly strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this brutality cannot be stopped. Sanctions will certainly help. Determination matters now – the determination of the United States, of European countries, and of all those around the world who seek peace," declared the President of Ukraine. He points out that the world knows the weaknesses of the Russian economy and that only appropriate pressure can force Putin to end the war.

"Each such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia. Russia is dragging out this war and continues to kill every day. The world may go on a weekend break, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. Silence of America, silence of others around the world only encourage Putin," he emphasized.
